Specifically, the collection aims to receive the following manuscripts:
- Manuscripts dealing with methodological challenges related to the burden of disease approach.
- Manuscripts presenting methodological advances in the burden of disease approach.
- Manuscripts dealing with knowledge translation of burden of disease estimates.
